You don't really need to test too much in the first two weeks. Most likely going to have some sort of cycle going.

I would "personally" wait two weeks and then test Ammonia, Nitrate, Nitrites.

You can always do it now if you want to though. For one it would be good practice and also gives you a starting point to compare your future tests to. Might be nice for you to see if they either rise or drop as the cycle goes.

If it goes up next time you test you know the cycle is still going... if the results get better than obviously it indicates you are closer to being completed the cycle.

What the hell! Test the water! Now I want to see since I am too far to come look!

Track the parameters! Ha ha!

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.
